Testimonials
Pat is an excellent trainer! We had a concern with my dog and her leash walking. She would pull constantly and it was very hard to enjoy walks with her. I went to Pat with my concern and she was willing to help. She worked for about 6 weeks (once a week) with my dog and she improved greatly. She also now knows commands such as down, stay, and place (she didn’t know these before). Pat sent me videos of what she worked on while my dog was at daycare and that way I knew what I should be working on at home with her. She also was very communicative and still checks in on my dog to this day! I definitely recommend Pat if you’re looking to get your dog trained.

We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pat and First Up K9 Training! From the day she met with us and started working with our dog we knew we were in the most professional and thorough care and education possible! Every step of the process was perfectly timed and coordinated with our dog’s progress and response. The result is that we have a different dog in return: responsive, respectful, and well mannered! We could NOT have done this without Pat and all the tools she gave us and our dog to work with!

Pat was a patient and caring trainer for Chip. His leash walking skills and being able to sit quietly in his carrier were two areas of concern for me and she helped to build his confidence and teach me the tools I needed to accomplish our goals. Thank you Pat for being a wonderful trainer, Chip can’t wait to work with you again.
